that explains it
So we were all wondering why McCain was hesitant to attack Obama on ACORN. Now we know. Grrr.
Via Michelle Malkin, a February 2006 press release showing that McCain and ACORN shared space at an amnesty rally:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Major Rally in Miami to Support Comprehensive Immigration Reform
Senator John McCain and many others to [...]
frustration
The slumping economy has become a primary contributing factor to McCain’s current struggles. McCain hasn’t helped matters by fumbling his first response to it. He has allowed Barack Obama to win the argument on taxes, and it certainly doesn’t help matters when every single ad we’re seeing on TV talks about Barack’s middle class tax [...]
why it all matters
While it would be wise for Senator McCain to focus on an economic message — and that must be his first priority – he should not ignore the influence of Ayers and ACORN on Barack Obama’s political development. Because Senator Obama doesn’t have much on his resume before becoming a US Senator, we have to [...]
where we stand
A couple thoughts on the debate — the format was awful, but I expected more of Tom Brokaw. We didn’t get any new information out of this debate (other than McCain’s call for more bailouts, but I’ll get to that). Neither candidate was able to challenge his opponent’s comments in any depth, and this [...]
debating biden and palin
Apparently Gwen Ifill’s writing a very complimentary book about our Democratic nominee for President, Barack Obama. No bias here. Move along citizen. Why in the world didn’t the McCain campaign know about this? Are they all fast asleep over there? With all the credit we can give that campaign for some of those clever web [...]
draw
That’s what I thought about the McCain-Obama debate. McCain had a few good lines, but Obama did not do any obvious damage to himself when discussing foreign policy — at least not that any casual observer would notice. I don’t think either of them changed any minds tonight. I missed the part [...]
re: remove all doubt
Interesting that my buddy Chris is willing to link to Fox News, since it’s such an unreliable source. I’m not sure why he wants to classify Fox News as part of the MSM, except that a lot more people watch FNC for their news than MSLSD or CNN. But ok…Fox News is now part [...]
re: forest for the trees
There is a difference between calling the bailouts a mistake and calling them one example of socialism. I did both. I started out by saying that I disagreed with all the bailouts, and also that I was opposed to government taking over private industry. Not sure how I could be any more clear than I [...]
conservatives and the mccain/palin ticket
There are two main issues that Christian conservatives consider important enough to threaten withholding votes from any politician who doesn’t perfectly toe the line — abortion and same-sex marriage. When evangelicals and others hold the line on principle and refuse to endorse a candidate who doesn’t agree with them on these issues, they are [...]
cut it out
So says Barack to the rumor mongers:
At a press avail in Monroe, Mich., Barack Obama on Palin: “Back off these kinds of stories.
“I have said before, and I will repeat again: People’s families are off-limits,” Obama said. “And people’s children are especially off-limits. This shouldn’t be part of our politics. It has no relevance to [...]
